Pixel C theoretical/practical application with Slackware ARM
 

Given that the hardware is a chromebook at the core, and Patrick has already proven slackware installed fine on his chromebook, what would be the more obscure challenges to develop a SlackARM for the Pixel C?

Obviously some kinks to work out with the X1 cpu (and half the cores disabled).

In theory, with a prolific amount of work, sleepless nights and dozens of forum posts, could it work? How practical an application would a SlackARM tablet be? Just looking to see how expandable it would be if at all.

It will need an AArch64 port of Slackware. It should be able to run armv7 code but I'm assuming it needs to be a hard float version as AArch64 doesn't have a soft float ABI.
Hopefully an Odroid C2 will be landing at my front door in a week or 2. Getting Slackware running on it will be a high priority.

Some of the distros dropped the soft float ABI since a few years ago all of the new ARM devices had a hard float unit in the SoC, and it's extra dev effort to support two ports.

A machine with an FPU simply will not have the FPU used when running a soft foat OS.
